Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 460 Tea

In the guest room, sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

Xu Changping sat quietly beside the bed, holding tightly in his hands the clothes that Li Baiyang had just changed, and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that Li Baiyang’s current poor physical condition is really caused by the long-term poisoning he suffered in Suzhou?

But Xu Changping thought about it carefully again and felt that things should not be that simple. If it was just Li Baiyang who was poisoned, it would definitely not cause Guo Baihui to fall into a state of madness.

There must be some key details hidden here that I haven't noticed yet.

Just as Xu Changping was thinking hard, the nanny's voice suddenly came from the living room: "Minister, this is a specialty that Comrade Li brought back for you last night. Where can I put it?"

As soon as the nanny finished speaking, before Minister Guo could respond, Xu Changping stood up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, rushed out of the guest room in one step, and shouted loudly: "Auntie, wait a minute, leave the things there first and don't move!"

"What... happened?" Seeing Xu Changping's excited reaction, the nanny was so scared that she stood there in a daze.

"You just said that this is what Comrade Li brought back last night?" Xu Changping rushed out of the guest room, not even bothering to look at the nanny's expression, pointing at the thing in her hand and asked loudly.

"Yes...yes." The nanny came back to her senses, looked at Xu Changping and then at Minister Guo, before replying hesitantly.

Without bothering to ask Minister Guo's opinion, Xu Changping directly instructed the nanny: "Put the things on the ground first."

"Minister, look at this..." The nanny was a little at a loss and turned her gaze back to Minister Guo. After seeing Minister Guo nod, she immediately put the gift in her hand on the ground as Xu Changping said.

Xu Changping slowly walked into the place where the gifts were placed. Seeing that the nanny was still standing there, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, move back a little."

The nanny glanced in the direction of Minister Guo again, and when she saw him nod slightly, she retreated, leaving Xu Changping and Minister Guo in the living room.

Xu Changping squatted on the ground, opened each package, and carefully checked the contents.

"Found it!" Xu Changping raised his head and looked in the direction of Minister Guo and said.

"Isn't this just tea? What's the problem here?" Looking at the bag of tea in Xu Changping's hand, Minister Guo asked in surprise.

Facing a layman, nothing you say is as reliable as showing him evidence. After a brief thought, Xu Changping stood up, took out a silver needle from the medicine box on the table and inserted it into the tea leaves.

After waiting for a while, Xu Changping pulled the silver needle out of the tea leaves. Then, right under Minister Guo's eyes, the tip of the silver needle gradually turned into a dark blue.

"This..." The needle tip emitting a dim blue light made Minister Guo break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"This is probably the kind of tea that Li Baiyang has been drinking recently." Xu Changping glanced at the kitchen and turned to Minister Guo.

"That Xiaohui..." Li Baiyang was not as close to her as his own daughter. After Minister Guo reacted, the first thing he thought of was Guo Baihui.

"It should be that there was some medicine powder on the kraft paper, which was accidentally got on the nanny's hand and indirectly passed to Comrade Guo." Xu Changping said after thinking for a while.

Listening to Xu Changping's words, Minister Guo's eyes gradually darkened. He asked in a gloomy tone, "This poison is so secret, how did you figure it out?"

It's no wonder he thought too much, since Xu Changping had discovered such a secret method of poisoning.

"When this poison is mixed with tea leaves, it will form a strange fragrance that will make people who drink the tea addicted." Xu Changping said concisely.

"Addicted? This is..." Xu Changping's words made Minister Guo's face change drastically, and he thought of something very bad.

"It's not that serious. You will quit it if you don't touch it for a while." As soon as Minister Guo's face changed, Xu Changping knew that he was thinking wrongly and hurriedly explained.

Xu Changping's words made Minister Guo feel relieved. He then asked with concern, "Is that so? Then what about Xiao Li..."

"Comrade Li is fine. Just take the antidote for a few days." Xu Changping said hurriedly.

Minister Guo nodded in understanding, and then said dejectedly: "That's good, but it's a pity that my Xiaohui will have to suffer for another year."

"Well, Doctor Xu, the medicine in the casserole is ready." While the two were talking, Li Baiyang walked out of the kitchen and said.

Xu Changping's men neatly rewrapped the tea leaves, looked up at Guo Bu, and went to the kitchen: "Pour out the medicine, let it air dry, and drink it. Your insomnia will soon be relieved."

Li Baiyang nodded and carefully poured the boiling hot medicine into the bowl. After blowing on it a few times, he tilted his head back without hesitation and gulped down the whole bowl of medicine.

Not long after taking the medicine, Li Baiyang suddenly felt a warm and gentle current flowing slowly in his body.

As this warm current continues to flow through the limbs and bones, an unprecedented sense of comfort gradually spreads.

Gradually, he couldn't help but open his mouth and yawned loudly. The crystal tears in the corners of his eyes seemed to be telling Xu Changping how tired the person in front of him was.

Li Boyang felt his body's reaction and said gratefully, "Doctor Xu, this medicine is really effective. I feel much better."

Xu Changping nodded: "This is just a preliminary detoxification. If you want to completely remove the remaining toxins in your body, you have to continue taking the medicine on time and in the right amount in the next few days."

Li Baiyang nodded, and then continued: "Were you checking the gifts I brought back from Suzhou? I bought them before I got on the bus, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"There's something wrong with the packet of tea inside. The poison on it is the same as the one you were poisoned with." Xu Changping understood Minister Guo's attitude just now, so he did not hide anything from Li Baiyang.

Li Boyang was stunned by Xu Changping's words, and then he said in shock: "I didn't buy tea!"

"You didn't buy it?" Xu Changping looked at Li Baiyang's genuine surprise and asked hurriedly, "When you were in Suzhou, did you often drink a kind of tea with a very strange fragrance?"

Hearing Xu Changping's words, Li Baiyang was shocked and said in a strange voice, "Drinking tea? What I drank was... No, I drank an ordinary tea at first, and suddenly one day, someone replaced it with another high-quality tea."
